Project Manager

NRS (Magnox) • 1m ago

Are you ready to lead projects that genuinely matter, where safety, quality and delivery are not just priorities but expectations? This is an 18 months fixed term contract opportunity to take ownership of key work within a major transformation programme, shaping how projects are delivered in a highly regulated environment.

You will join a team where your decisions have visible impact. From planning through to delivery, your role will influence outcomes across safety, cost and performance. It is a position that offers both challenge and variety, giving you the chance to lead teams, improve processes, and contribute to stronger, more efficient project delivery.

What will you be doing

You will take full responsibility for delivering projects or key segments of larger programmes, ensuring they are completed safely, on time, and within budget. Working closely with internal teams and external partners, you will provide clear direction, maintain momentum, and keep delivery aligned with business and regulatory expectations.

Day to day, you will balance planning with action. That means monitoring performance, managing risks, and adjusting course where needed to keep projects on track. You will also play a key role in strengthening project delivery by applying lessons learned and improving ways of working across the programme.

Lead project delivery across scope, schedule, cost and quality
Manage project risks, interfaces, and stakeholder relationships
Build and guide multi-disciplinary teams to achieve shared goals
Oversee budgets, reporting, and compliance with company standards

Who are we looking for

You bring proven project management experience from a highly regulated environment, such as engineering, construction, or infrastructure. You understand what good delivery looks like and can confidently lead projects while working within defined processes and controls. A recognised project management qualification, such as APM Practitioner or equivalent, is essential, alongside a relevant technical qualification.

You are someone who can engage people easily, communicate clearly, and take accountability for outcomes. You remain calm under pressure, adapt to changing priorities, and take a practical approach to solving problems. Just as importantly, you promote a strong safety culture and understand the importance of compliance in everything you do.
